Getting Started with the BQ79606A-Q1 GUI
Figure 33. Write Command - With Transaction Log
11.2 Command Sequence Tab
Command Frame
Allows the user to send raw hex commands to the base device, as a host MCU would.
The Command Sequence tab works in the same manner as the Advanced Comm tab, by sending
commands in hexadecimal form to the devices. However, the Command Sequence tab takes this
functionality a step further by allowing for sequences of commands to be executed, saved, and executed
again at a later time.
To begin generating command sequences, start by choosing a command type from the dropdown menu
(#1 in
), typing the number of bytes to read/write, and press the “Generate Command Frame
Header”. If a write command has been chosen, add the desired hex values to the end of the generated
“command frame header” (#2 in
). Ensure the number of bytes added to the end of a write
command matches the “Number of Bytes to Send” (#3 in
). Finally, send the command to the
device(s) by pressing the “Send Command Frame to stack” button (#4 in
). This will also add the
command to a stack of commands within the GUI. This stack of commands is located under the
“Command Dialog” section. Repeat this procedure for as many commands as desired.
